Actually, these aren’t “just fine”, they’re awesome, but I was trying to be clever with the title there… I don’t remember rice crispy treats being my childhood favorite; I think I was more of a cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie kind of kid. But I’m definitely a crispy treat convert. When I first moved from…

Grilling season is upon us! To be honest, we don’t even own a grill, but I love using my cast iron grill pan with summer vegetables to get similar texture, flavor, and markings. Of all of the gorgeous summer foods perfect for grilling, portobellos are my favorite. Because of their tender, juicy texture and mild…

Lately, I’ve been such a hummus junky. I’m constantly dipping raw vegetables, especially carrots and cucumbers, as a snack or small meal. I’ve even found that if I’m craving something sweet, hummus and carrots does the trick. I know hummus is hardly a sweet treat, but for some reason, it’s been working for me as…

Last week, a new friend contacted me asking if I knew of any vegan caterers in the area, and if not, would I be interested. She was looking for someone to make a staff meal for 14, because with one vegan and one vegetarian to accommodate, she decided to go all-vegan. Did I mention I…

After reading Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr, I became more enthusiastic about raw foods. And while I know how to make the raw food basics, I wanted to get myself into a raw food cookbook or two to see what those creative raw food authors had come up with. Now, my first instinct was…

Making warm, berry and syrup-loaded waffles before bed and expecting to wake up to a delicious ready-to-go breakfast probably wouldn’t go as planned, and most convenience grab-and-run breakfast products are loaded with refined sugars, artificial colors and flavors, and other undesirable hidden ingredients. If you’re not a morning person, and I know I’m not, having…

Last week, on a particularly less-than-perfect day, I received a nice little package from Chicago Soy Dairy with 2 flavors of their well-known vegan cheese, Teese, and a package of my favorite vegan marshmallows, Dandies. It’s amazing what a pick-me-up getting a package can be! As soon as I saw the tube of creamy cheddar…

If you haven’t already, stop by last night’s That’s When I’m Happy post and share what brings you back to happy when you’re feeling a little down. It’s therapeutic, I swear! So last night I tried to eat a couple crackers, my first non-mushy or liquid food in over a week, and I woke up…

I had my wisdom teeth drilled out on Monday and it’s been a much slower recovery than I was expecting. I still look like a greedy chipmunk, and I’m not sure if I have dry sockets, but the pain gets pretty intense. Plus, my stomach didn’t much agree with the medications I was given, so…

What a beautiful day! It was so lovely, we got out our bikes and went for a ride! It’s so nice to get back outside. When we got home from riding, the husband requested black bean burgers, so I got to making my go-to black bean burgers with the recipe from Veganomicon. I’d forgotten how…
